IUCN status: Near Threatened
EPBC Predator Threat Rating: Moderate
IUCN claim: Not attributed
No studies
Cats were not among predators of reintroduced, predator-inexperienced, wallabies (Short et al. 1992).
There are no studies linking cats to parma wallabies.
Evidence linking Macropus parma to cats. Systematic review of evidence for an association between Macropus parma and cats. Positive studies are in support of the hypothesis that cats contribute to the decline of Macropus parma, negative studies are not in support. Predation studies include studies documenting hunting or scavenging; baiting studies are associations between poison baiting and threatened mammal abundance where information on predator abundance is not provided; population studies are associations between threatened mammal and predator abundance. See methods section in [current submission] for details on evidence categories.
